1527103690570Congress and the Trump administration have yet to create a coherent policy response to a widely forecast social and economic tsunami resulting from automation, including the potential for decades of flat wages and joblessness. But US cities and regions are now starting to act on their own.

What’s happening: In Indianapolis, about 338,000 people are at high risk of automation taking their jobs, according to a new report.

In Phoenix, the number is 650,000. In both cases, that’s 35% of the workforce.

In northeastern Ohio, about 40,000 workers are at high risk.
